O’Connell Electric is committed to the safety and health of all Subcontractor Employees and anyone on our worksites. As an on-site Subcontractor, your Company Employees working on-site will be required to complete the O’Connell Electric Subcontractor On-Site Safety Orientation. This annual safety orientation is required for each Subcontractor Employee. Upon completion, the oriented Employee will receive a hardhat decal that is valid for one calendar year.

High Voltage Training

Nearly 120 OCE Electricians and several Project Managers attended our custom-developed High Voltage Switching Awareness Training from January through February this year. The material consists of topics that require four days of training, and includes both classroom, group work, and hands on learning. Topics include presentations on grounding, reviewing OCE’s switching policy, performing a switching assessment, filling out a switching order, and performing an actual switching scenario. Electricians complete a tailboard as though they were actually switching, perform a switching assessment, use the switching order to secure all the proper tools and PPE. Then they actually operate the devices and are rated by their peers.

Compliance with OSHA Regulations and NFPA 70E is not optional. Know the rules related to Electrical Safety in the Workplace!
